Jack and I knew each other when we were in the Army. Jack only served for two years, but I stayed for 10. Jack and I kept in touch after he left the military. We visited with each other on a couple of different occasions. I went to see Jack on the other side of the country. The two of us went camping and hunting for the week. A few years later, Jack came to the military base to hang out with me for a couple of days. After I left the Army, I had to find a job. I told Jack that I was looking for something and he got me a job working with him at the HVAC service center where he is an employee. Jack offered to let me stay in his apartment until I found a place of my own. I didn’t really see myself working as an HVAC service technician, but I had the experience to do the work. I was a refrigeration and AC technician in the military. I took Jack up on the offer and I got on an airplane and flew to the other side of the country. Jack picked me up at the airport and we went directly to his job so I could meet the owner of the company. The guy was also former military. We talked about my training and the job and the guy seemed really happy to have me join their team. It’s been 6 months since I started working at the HVAC service center. Jack and I are still sharing an apartment, but we got something bigger with a bedroom for each one of us.
